Stay in stylishly
Housebound and still need to work? Adopt a home dress code so that you can work comfortably and you’re fashionably ready for that video conference call.
IT is hard not to let yourself go, working from home.
If you are teleworking to prevent the spread of coronavirus, whether alone or with family, it is easy to drift into an entire week in which everyday is like Sunday.
Wherever possible, the best policy is to behave as though you were going into the office as usual, with natural-looking makeup and an outfit that has at least been the subject of some thought.
For those of you who are staring into your wardrobes with no idea of what to wear, now that your commute has been reduced to sitting down at your desk, here are five fashion pieces that effortlessly combine style and comfort to look smart at home.
Light, loose trousers
Although it is mainly known for surfwear, Billabong also offers casual and colourful pieces that are a comfortable choice for teleworking. A case in point are these light, loose-fitting, viscose trousers with a bold tropical print to inspire dreams about faraway places at a time when many of us are stuck at home. > Where to find it: Billabong. com.
Oversize ensemble
In its new h&m Studio collection, the Swedish giant is offering this loose-fitting ensemble with a colourful abstract print that is perfect for homewear as it is for going out. Combining comfort and elegance, the ensemble comprises a shirt with side slits in softly draped woven fabric, and glossy satin trousers with concealed pockets in the side seams and fake welt back pockets.

Kimono comfort
If you do not feel the need to be chic or elegant – after all, you are in your own home – you might consider a discreetly sexy look for days spent working without leaving the house, even if it is not ideal for videoconferencing. Darjeeling offers this romantically inspired kimono in printed satin in which you are sure to feel comfortable.
